Carney on Canada becoming a leader in green technology: "You just have to look at where China and others are going. We have an enormous opportunity in this country to leapfrog the United States. The United States has taken its eye off the ball on this."

PSA: If you haven't left X yet, now is as good a time as any. Good thread with summary of how all your posts and data is/will be used over there.
ONE MORE UPDATE BECAUSE THIS GOT MORE DERANGED:

1. Editing other people’s videos is a planned future feature, so those aren’t safe either

2. Musk advertised the feature by RTing some White Birthrate shit with a video of GenAIing young kids for a couple with goofy music

The place where this cub was hibernating was set on fire 😡😡But hopefully she makes a full recovery. You can donate to the wildlife rescue shelter that will be taking care of her and you can also get a tax receipt:

Are you an #alberta resident in one of the ridings where your MLA is facing a recall petition? If you agree that the UCP is going down a dangerous path, you can help by becoming a canvasser and helping to collect signatures for those recalls! 💪🍁

Canadians, sign this petition to stop the use of the Notwithstanding clause against trans Canadians.

This is about provinces denying human rights, because trans rights are human rights.

SIGN.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is a puppet of Big Pharma?? This is ridiculous language, even for these 🤡🤡

We should not let people get away with disinformation and misinformation, especially politicians, it's a dangerous slippery slope

Because that's working so well in places like the US, ugh 🙄...Looks to me like western democracies are becoming victims of their own success: people have been fairly comfortable for so long they think governments don't need to do anything to make that happen, like it'll magically happen on its own😖
Smith finally said it out loud...

She doesn't believe that government should be providing any services to Albertans, she believes that private companies should be used universally to provide services.

Faith groups should take care of the vulnerable.

Useful if you're getting started in bluesky 🦋
Short story: for about a week, my feed was pretty random with stuff I don't care for. Then I realized I had jumped to the "Discover" instead of the "Following" feed and what a difference, the feed is so much better when you follow lots of folks you like😅
A reminder of useful tools that can rapidly get you up speed here on Bluesky. Add your favs to the end! 🧵

1. Search for & pin curated feeds and follow starter packs to get the content you want.

You're in charge here, so don't complain if you don't see what you're interested in. Fix it!

Oil&gas jobs are not tied to increases in oil&gas production.
As of 2024, direct Fossil Fuel jobs accounted for under 1% of total employment in Canada.
Sharp decline in FF employment occurred at the same time as major increases in total oil&gas output.

A break from my enormous collection of polar bear pictures.
I took this one from my kayak on my last paddle of the year in October. It was only a few degrees above freezing but I was hoping the find the coyote pack again. I found one of their sentinels, but not the whole group. #mammals 🌿

A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions"

As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

Also 💯% agree with this, infuriating that it worked so well 🤬🤬 ... I also see similarities with the religious rights in the US now, but I also see pockets of something similar to Liberation Theology emerging ...
